Where is the option to close multiple tabs? It used to be a Right Click in the "List All Tabs" function. Now it's gone!

Well I figured out how to get the Tab Bar back where it should, down below where you can easily get to it, but now I see that the "Close All Other Tabs" option which used to be in the right click menu of the "List All Tabs" arrow has disappeared.

Is there anyway to get that back? This design change is really not as good as 3.5. Also tell that person to slow down. Who can understand what he's saying?

Thanks!

Chosen solution

In Firefox 4 the Tab Bar is a regular toolbar and that causes the toolbar context menu to show if you right click.

You can right click the tab that you want to keep to "Close Other Tabs"
